Christopher Leon Johnson expressed strong disagreement with the committee's actions and the proposed bills. He accused the council members of being biased towards the city and landlords, and against tenants paying lower rents.

  • Johnson called the public hearing a "sham" and accused council members of supporting displacement of lower-income tenants.
  • He criticized specific council members, including Pierina Sanchez, Shaun Abreu, and Sandy Nurse.
  • Johnson predicted that council members would be voted out in 2025, specifically mentioning Pierina Sanchez being replaced by "Mr. Cabrera".
